Yes, that is literally what an LS swap is...

You can swap all the other parts mentioned as well, except for the fuel lines; you'll be reusing/ modifying your old ones.

Congratulations on your new project. Read the sticky threads at the top of the page, and read some of the threads by other guys who have done LS swaps, then start asking questions.

Just curious, how much did you get that Camaro for?
Can you give us some more details about it?

I got the car for 1,500 it is an auto car which sucks but it'll work. The car was hit in the front only, not much damage ,other than that its a pretty solid car.

Here is some more pictures.

That's a great deal. You can sell off so much of the rest of the car you can buy a T56

Is your thirdgen a auto or manual I did a auto to manual on my swap and getting the pedals etc right was a pain. I used the tank, and made my wiring from the donor. There is a entire thread on it in my signature.
